I’d call you confused.

How do you pay the teachers if education is free? (we are already in debt)

Governmental debt doesn’t work the way regular people debt works. And, besides that, this question is ridiculous. Education is already free. Public schools exist. How do we pay those teachers? How do other countries, who are also in debt, pay for their public universities? The tuition for the school that I’m going to now was free for in state students in the 60s, and is now $15k. That’s a lot of inflation. 

Free healthcare has never worked in a country the size of ours. Remember even Canada is 1/10th our size in population with a lot more natural resources and land mass.

It’s never been tried in a country our size. And, our size means more tax revenue.

More Jobs would cut down on the welfare a bit but also a lot of people on welfare have a mindset that they do not want to work.

Nonsense. While there may be some people who “don’t want to work”, most people like having something to do. People get depressed when they are out of work. And I don’t mean they get sad, I mean, they develop a severe mental health condition where their self esteem and general outlook on life take a major hit. And most welfare programs require some attempt to find work.

Border control will never fully go away.

Literally nobody is asking it to.

Basic human rights is all illegals are entitled to here in my opinion that’s how it should be.

Easier path to citizenship is actually one of very few points I agree with trump on. That and border control. We want to allow people in but they need to be able to do it the right way.

Trump does not want an easier path to citizenship. You’re fooling yourself if you think he does. He wants to deport people who are here illegally, not make them citizens. Interestingly enough, most people who come to the US do so legally, and then over stay their visas because the system is overly complicated for latinx and asian immigrants.

I am pro-life myself for religious purposes however it is none of my business anyways. I always felt like maybe they could just have the baby and put it up for adoption? Babies go FAST in the adoption process. A lot faster then when they are over 3.

A lot of abortions happen because of the general health risks involved. Also, a pregnant woman who is low income would have to miss work, potentially lose their job, and then cover hospital and prenatal care? Planned Parenthood offers abortion coverage on a sliding scale. It’s a no brainer.

I say men who impregnate women who do not want to be impregnated should have the fetus implanted into their abdomen if they do not want the child aborted.

Less executive power wont happen. Both Hillary and Trump will do things their way.

This is likely true. 

Raising taxes on the rich will decrease jobs like it did a few years ago when Burger King and Hershey moved their HQ’s to other countries. That cost tens of thousands of jobs. We already have the 8th highest corporate tax rate in the world and all the ones ahead of us are third world countries except for Pakistan and Argentina but both are much poorer then we are. We are lucky we are doing this well with our ridiculous rates.

It’s all speculation. It’s fear based propaganda that keeps people thinking like this. The truth is, a businesses HQ doesn’t really matter since most of the HQ staff is small, and most of these businesses are global. They might move to Canada or mexico to avoid paying taxes, but really, there are still plenty of burger kings in the US. 

Oh by the way I am calling it now you heard it here first. By 2020 Wal-Mart moves it’s HQ to China or Germany. We will lose about 600k jobs worth of taxes there and they will fire probably 500k store personel.

Speculation. With no real world grounding. 

And fuck a walmart. They should be put out of business in the US with their illegal practices.

Also, to answer the how do we pay for free schooling and healthcare….Take it out of our MASSIVE military budget. Pack up all our operations around the world. Stop giving aid to third world countries. Pull out all our troops and all our bases. Stop playing fucking world police. Bring them all home and make America a fucking impenetrable fortress like China has. We can still have the greatest army in the world. We do need that.

I hate so god damn much how whenever you bring up free schooling you get branded a marxist. There is NO argument against it if you ask me. Knowledge should be available to everyone for free. What about the internet you say? Well, the degree matters. You could be Will Hunting, but without that degree nobody is going to take you seriously. So you HAVE to go in debt to get a degree unless you have that white bread. That old money.

We should all have the same opportunities. This is our future we are talking about here. We don’t think about the long run. Everyone in this country would be better off is there were more educated people. More people starting businesses. More people innovating and inventing.  Which means more competition and better product and prices….

More people making advancements in the quality of life. More people making better decisions electing people into office. More people coming from a lower class family breaking their future generations of the cycle families fall into. Less people committing crimes. Less people getting addicted to drugs. Less debt.

Shit CAN change. I refuse to believe this is something that can’t happen. Maybe if we didn’t prioritize monetary gain and over people? I know we can do better. I just doubt that I personally will live to see it.

It’s not free. Nothing is free cept for herpes…. The idea is we all foot the bill.  We all pay taxes to pay for things like this. Why put my money towards oppressing and rebuilding third world countries when it can be put to better use here?

Fuck yeah though, I do love me some free shit. I keep a fake mustache in my pocket so I can walk by the sample sample lady in grocery stores multiple times XD

Okay man whatever you say, here’s some free advice you haven’t asked for, got get therapy man, you need it. I don’t hate you. It would be great to see you get better some day. I really feel sorry for you every time I read one of your posts.  

I’m not spending my money on that.

I wouldn’t call myself confused. I just have what my views. Simple as that. I don’t need to align to some stupid party.

I remember reading an article about how well Bernie Sander’s plan would have worked. According to the article Bernie lied about how much he’d have to tax us but at the end of the day we’d all be saving money because we’d be spending less.

And no, companies are not going to just move their HQ because it will cost a lot of time, resources and money to just move to another country. Chances are they’d have to pay more taxes in that other country than they do here. Don’t forget that most countries have stricter regulations than we do. And they pay lower in taxes than they ever have when they actually do pay taxes. It keeps getting lower and lower and why people think we need to keep giving them tax cuts when it’s obviously not creating jobs is beyond me.

We do rely on other countries. What we are doing right now is we are trading our materials to other countries, like China, where all of the factories are and they use those materials to build the goods that they send back to us for a much higher price. If we just stopped doing that then we could create more jobs here building things with our materials then selling them to other countries. Then again, this might be the one thing that keeps Russia and China from slaughtering us.

As for adoption over abortion, I feel as though over population is becoming a major issue that is not talked about enough. We have plenty of room on the planet for more people, the earth just doesn’t have enough resources to meet our demands.

The budget for Nasa isn’t good, it’s pretty shitty. That doesn’t stop scientists from doing what the want, it just means that these innovations and discoveries are going to other countries. That might not seem important, but these innovations are what brings economic growth to our country when we discover new technologies.
